When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? You’ve got it. Something middle of the road and comforting? Yep, that too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that as well.
We recently stopped by Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe at Magic Kingdom — which is not typically a place we recommend for the best eats at this park — to see if our theory was still correct. Is this classic theme park meal really as disappointing as everyone says?
Over at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe, we recently picked up the Flame-broiled 1/3 lb Angus Burger topped with bacon, American cheese, and Sonny Eclipse signature sauce on a brioche bun served with French fries. You can grab this meal for $13.99.
Unfortunately, our suspicions were confirmed because this bacon cheeseburger was still just okay. It wasn’t bad and was perfectly edible, but it was a basic theme park burger. On the plus side, it was a filling meal — because the cheeseburger itself was large, and because it came with so many fries. The bacon pieces were crunchy — we wouldn’t say crisp, they were flexible, with lots of chewier bits to them, but they weren’t soggy and undercooked. We do wish there had been a bit more of the Sonny Eclipse sauce, which did add some tanginess that helped to cut down on the rich flavors of the meat and cheese.
The cheese was melted, which was a plus, and the patty was alright taste-wise, but it was well done so you don’t get a choice on the temperature of the burger (which is pretty standard for quick service). Overall, this is a decent meal that will do in a pinch, but it’s not something that we’re ever really craving when we’re in the park. If you’re looking for something safe and familiar, or possibly something that picky eaters might still enjoy, this one won’t steer you wrong.
In the meantime, we’ll be on the lookout for more snacks to review and updates from Disney World. Make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for the latest Disney news and more!
